Mel Gibson ‘pulled gun on Oksana Grigorieva when she tried to escape’

Washington: Mel Gibson apparently pulled a handgun on then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva when she tried to leave his Malibu mansion after their violent January 6 confrontation.

According to a source, Gibson keeps a handgun in his bedroom at all times.

“Oksana claims that after Mel hit her, she escaped outside and ran barefooted to the outdoor area at the home, near the pool,” RadarOnline.com quoted the source as saying.

“When Mel disappeared, Oksana said she ran back inside to find her car keys so she could leave the house.

"That’s when Mel re-emerged holding the gun and began waving it in front of Oksana’s face, she has told investigators.

“Oksana said she was panicked and while searching for the keys, Mel came up to her and said, ‘I will show you how to get out of here fast,’ which she interpreted to be a death threat,” the source added.

Oksana then grabbed Lucia, fled to her car and escaped Mel’s compound.
